We Indians have long been suffering from uneven skin tone, dark spots, and dark patches often termed as skin pigmentation. Skin pigmentation is extremely common among Indians and is primarily influenced by the presence or absence of a pigment called Melanin.
Well, not many are aware of the fact that the root cause of pigmentation lies deep within our skin and can only be treated using targeted face serums and creams. So, how and when do we start using anti-pigmentation skincare products?
That is exactly why we are here, to help and be your guide to radiant, flawless-looking skin using the right approach and anti-pigmentation skincare products.
What is Skin Pigmentation?
Skin pigmentation refers to the change in skin colour depending on the under or overproduction of melanin in your body. If for some reason your body produces more melanin, the colour of your skin becomes darker and you may sustain dark patches or spots all over your body. These spots are also known as hyperpigmentation.
Contrary to this, if your body produces less melanin, you may notice your skin colour getting lighter or sustaining small white patches all across your body. The condition where your body faces loss of melanin in specific areas is also known as hypopigmentation.
Hence, based on the under or overproduction of melanin in your body, the type of pigmentation is determined and treated accordingly.
Tips for Managing Skin Pigmentation
1. Use targeted face serums:
One of the best ways to treat skin pigmentation is by investing in high-concentrated targeted face serums that go layers deep into your skin to treat causes of pigmentation from the root. Look for face serums containing ingredients like Niacinamide and Glutathione Precursor as key ingredients such as POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum With 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex is a lightweight face serum that goes 10 layers deep into your skin, offering 8x spot reduction after every application.
2. Keep your skin well moisturised:
You might not be aware of the fact that even dryness can cause skin pigmentation. Excessive skin dryness can weaken your skin barrier, affect collagen production, and increase the sensitivity of the skin, which allows UV rays to penetrate into your skin. This can trigger skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, tanning, and more. Hence, it is important to use deep nourishing and moisturising face creams like POND'S Bright Beauty Gel Crème With Glutaboost Niacinamide Complex designed to hydrate and brighten your skin tone after every application. To fight stubborn pigmentation, apply this gel crème every day right after using the POND'S anti-pigmentation face serum.
For better and faster results, you can incorporate POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Spot Serum Cream With Niacinamide and SPF 15 PA++' in your morning skincare routine for deep hydration and sun protection.
3. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen:
Excessive exposure to the sun and harmful UV rays are some of the leading causes of skin pigmentation. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 and PA+++ ratings to get optimum protection and care from harmful UV rays and sun damage before you step out in the sun. Opting for sunscreens infused with active ingredients like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid can offer the dual benefits of sun protection and skin brightening on one product.
4. Use gentle face cleansers:
Using harsh or abrasive face cleansers can do more harm than good to your skin. It is a common myth that rubbing your face hard or using harsh cleaners cleanses your skin more effectively and reduces pigmentation. Rather, these practices can worsen your skin pigmentation. Use gentle and effective face cleansers like POND'S Bright Beauty Anti-Dullness Face Wash With Vitamin B3 to enjoy a fresh and deep cleansing experience after every wash.
Achieving Radiant Skin
1. Stay consistent with the skincare routine:
The only way to fight stubborn pigmentation and enjoy radiant-looking skin is by staying consistent with your skincare routine. Skincare is not an overnight process, but rather a long journey that helps transform your skin by bringing out its natural beauty and radiance. So, follow a consistent day and night skincare routine to witness faster and more favourable results.
2. Maintain a balanced diet:
Along with topical treatment, maintaining a balanced diet can also make a huge difference in your everyday skincare routine. A healthy and clean diet helps your body absorb good nutrients and maintain a youthful appearance. If eating healthy every day is a challenge for you, then try to eat healthy at least 5 to 6 days a week.
3. Stay hydrated:
We have already mentioned how important skin hydration is, but do you know keeping yourself hydrated is equally important? Yes, you read it right. Drinking enough water also plays a major role in maintaining the overall health and radiance of your beautiful skin,.
4. Prioritise rest and stress management:
Take some days off and do nothing, but just relax to get your thoughts cleared and manage stress. You can also get involved in stress-management activities that help you get mentally and physically relaxed. Lastly and most importantly, try to get sufficient sleep every day so that your skin always feels fresh and radiant after waking up.
Conclusion
Tackling skin pigmentation starts with taking the correct measures without worrying about the fuss of layering your skin with a dozen different skincare products. Just a gentle face cleanser, high-concentrated face serum, and anti-pigmentation cream are all you need to get rid of stubborn skin pigmentation and enjoy flawless radiant look skin every day, all around the year!
